I will do my best on the adopted theme to find novel events from a unique perspective.
In this work, we prepared hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) with pi-expanded tetra[2,3]thienylene derivatives and investigated their crystal structures and physical properties. These HOFs formed a hydrogen-bonded diamond-shaped supramolecular network, with stacking of saddle-shaped molecule forming a 10-fold interpenetration. As a result, one dimensional channel was formed. Compared to our previously reported HOF with tetra[2,3]thienylene without terminal pi units, these HOFs possesses more interpenetrations and larger channels. A HOF showed reversible solvent-dependent vapochromism.
